Grahamstown Memories
I went to Grahamstown last weekend for the Arts Festival which you would have loved. i knew some Rastas (no joke, these guys dont drink, eat meat, and got all sorts of slang and ways to do things) from Cape Town that came down to sell at the festival. The distance from Grahamstown to Cape Town is like the distance from SF to SD. We met up there and were tokin and talkin shit. The last two nights we made a open fire right outside Rhodes University where they had their vendor stand and the last night I BBQ'd some lemon chix and asparagus. They were giving me hella shit bc they said asparagus was a white folks food and had never had it in there life. Funny thing is they ate that shit up as soon as they tried it. Chef boyarD..you know it..
Also, did wiskey tasking with Lauren which was fun...

Very Inspired By Obama Speech in Ghana
Very sad to find out from that Aunt Janette has passed from a heart atttack.
-The funeral will be held in Berkely and I will write a small peice for the ceremony.
-Man, its tough to see the coolest family members go, it is important for us to carry on the legacy.
Very Inspired by obama speech...
"One area that holds out both undeniable peril and extraordinary promise is Energy. Africa gives off less greenhouse gas than any other part of the world, but is most threatened by climate change. A warming planet will spread disease, shrink water resources, and deplete crops, creating conditions that produce more famine, more conflict. All of us, particularly the developed world have a responsibility to slow these treks, threw mitigation and by changing the way that we use energy. But we can also work with Africans to turn this crisis into opportunity. Together, we can partner on behalf of our planet and prosperity and help countries increase access to power while developing, leapfrogging the dirtier phase of development. Think about it, across Africa there is bountiful wind and solar power, geothermal energy and biofuel...African's natural gifts can generate its own power while exporting clean energy abroad...its about opportunity that must exist for Africans in the 21st century..."

BBall at Cape Tech
Got a few solid games of 3 on 3 yesterday at Cape Pennisula University of Technology gym yesterday. Got pretty jacked up though as well. First, I slammed my head into the basket post and got a huge welt on my head. Then after I recovered and started playing again, I went up for a block and fell about 3 feet on my butt, which still hurts today. There is some big shot coach there named Kita.

On the mind
Drakenstein Multi-media project a great succcess..
http://drakensteinannenberg.wordpress.com/
Just a snap shot of my group.
Ethan Demas is a 15 year old 9th grader who lives in Paarl. He is interested in information technology and takes special focus to social media sites such as Facebook and Mix-it. He exhibits a keen understanding of new media and does a fantastic job at incorporating his learning in this multi-media project. In one occasion, he downloaded music and various images using his cellular devise and assisted in implementing this media into the audio slide show. Ethan’s father Jerome is a local high school teacher and it is clear that education appreciation is a family trait.
Cavendy Festus is a 17 year high school student who lives in the Paarl area. When you first meet her you easily recognize her spirited sense of style and fashion. Although timid at first, Cavendy developed an aptitude for interview reporting. She has an assertive pleasant demeanor which makes her approach to the public ideal. Cavendy enjoys spending time with friends and watching movies. She has much potential and through this project she has gained an interest in journalism.
Nathan Baxter is a “go-getter” in many respects from work projects to general relationship building. He is a 15 year old 9th grade student who also has a distinct love for sports. His favorites include rugby and basketball. His father is a professional in the local Paarl wine industry. It is obvious that Nathan aspires to his father’s work and especially enjoys attending parties and contemporary music. He is also a great fan of stand-up comedy and loves American comics such as Chris Rock.
Daniel Atwater is a 25 year old graduate student in the Communication Management program at the University of Southern California and also holds an undergraduate degree from California State University, Los Angeles in Communication with a minor in Pan African Studies. For the last four years he has worked in public and private real estate asset management. Daniel is a believer in community development and looks forward to facilitating partnerships for sustainable international business in his career. His interests include international politics, sports, education, cooking, and social gatherings.
